Abstract
For electrically connecting a conductor pattern (25) printed on a surface of a flexible insulator sheet (23) to a circuit board (13), an insulating resilient piece (33) is attached to the opposite surface of the flexible sheet and obliquely projects from said opposite surface. A connecting member (15) having a contact (17) to be electrically connected to the circuit board has an insulator block (16) having a receiving hole (18) for receiving the flexible sheet and the resilient piece together. The contact is exposed in the receiving hole so that the contact is brought into contact with the conductor pattern of the flexible sheet when a projecting portion of the resilient piece is pressed towards the flexible sheet received in the receiving hole by an actuating member (31, 39, 41). By the use of the connecting arrangement, a multi-row connector (11) is assembled which is for establishing electric connection to the connecting member as a paired connector. The multi-row connector comprises a first insulator block (19) for receiving the flexible sheets as flexible contact sheets in sheet receiving holes (21) and a second insulator block (27) having a sheet receiving groove (29).
